Hollow faith

 In the next few decades people might see the global thousand year reign of Jesus Christ beginning. He will become effectively as God to all, eventually. Will people believe that the Father is really the one true God? Will the Father’s invisibility in relation to most humans mean that people, even under their subjection to Jesus, believe in Jesus as God but not the Father as the one true God? Jesus will eventually subject himself and everything under him to the Father forever. A belief system that calls Jesus God but rejects the invisible supernatural - such as angels, demons, or miracles - retains the outward structure of faith but strips it of its deeper, transcendent power. It reduces faith to a moral philosophy rather than a divine revelation, sidelining the spiritual forces and realities described throughout scripture. The scriptures warn about those who have "a form of godliness but deny its power". Religious tradition that rejects the divine workings affirming God's presence and authority is deficient. Those who deny the supernatural turn their profession of faith into mere rationalism, severing the connection between God’s power and His direct intervention in the world. At the end of the Christ’s thousand years, these people will be surprised to find there is the supernatural Father who is God even greater than Jesus His Son. Then the lake of fire will be the final destination for the unbelievers.
